The towering Big
Wheel; at the time this was Britain's biggest wheel (almost 150 feet).

Another view of this
landmark attraction, installed by Associated Leisure in 1980, and
removed by Jimmy Godden in 1997 after dominating the Margate skyline for
17 years.

The Big Wheel was no less
imposing when viewed from the top; this view was taken in 1980, its
first year of operation, when Dreamland was owned by Associated Leisure.

The brand new Big Wheel in
1980. Note that the rides surrounding the Wheel in this period were
mainly travelling fairground rides. This would change the following year
when Bembom Brothers acquired the park.

The much missed River
Caves ride, pictured in the late 1970s at night.

The Big Wheel could be seen across
Margate, as seen from this photograph taken shortly after the ride first
opened.

This area could be found to the left of
the main entrance concourse. This picture was taken towards the end of
the Associated Leisure era.
